The Night Watch (working title) - Spooktober VN Jam 2022 Visual Novel

The Night Watch (working title) - Spooktober VN Jam 2022 Visual Novel

Project Overview

After the horrific and unsolved murder of MC’s longstanding partner within the police, MC must learn to get along with their new, slightly irritating partner in order to stop a major criminal. It will fall into the mystery/horror/dark comedy genre. 

This will be 1 of 2 short visual novel projects that I'll be creating for Spooktober Jam 2022. You can find the casting call for the other project here: castingcall.club/projects/dawn-of-the-damned-working-title-spooktober-vn-jam-2022-visual-novel 
For last year's Spooktober jam, my team and I created Limbo Line, which you can find here if you want to check it out: itch.io/limbo-line

This project is a visual novel fan adaptation/alteration of a TV short that I love. It will contain a mixture of lines/content from the episode along with my own original additions and alterations to the story/writing.

Because this is for a jam and the deadline will be fairly tight, I'm putting out this casting call now to try and find voices for characters before the jam begins, so please excuse the lack of sprite images, as I cannot create those until the jam starts in September. You will need to be available to record lines in September and submit them no later than the end of Saturday 24th September in order to give me enough time to cut, edit, and add them to the game before the submission deadline is due. Unfortunately, as this is for a jam and no one is paying me, I will not be able to pay anyone for their work on this project. However, in the event of the project winning a prize, we can all discuss how to handle that as a team. 

For more details, please see this recruitment document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/123oTbhl6LNhPz-IZ1I70fLULzFYOJWwbZdK0RntfN3o/edit?usp=sharing

Thanks for looking and have a lovely day :3

  • Cheers Everyone!

    I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who auditioned for this project! I really enjoyed listening to everyone's interpretations of the characters, and you all sounded fantastic, which made it pretty hard to make decisions, haha. After listening to everything a few times and trying to envision which voices will best suit the character's personalities and appearances, I've managed to cast each of the roles. Thanks so much again to you all for taking the time to submit such fantastic auditions! I really appreciate it and I hope you have a brilliant rest of the month :3

  • It's only food! How would you like it if you whipped out a tuna sandwich and I started shrieking?
    (Snappy, grumpy, sarcastic)

  • You wait until you've spent years doing this job. You've got to keep your mind occupied somehow.
    (Sighing, dismissive)

  • Sorry, I just... I'm not thinking straight. I didn't mean to snap at you. I know you're just trying to help, but I haven't been sleeping lately, and I really don't want to talk about it right now.
